How many goals does Kucherov have in his career?
Four hundred and one, and the two biggest seasons were 2023-24 with 44 and 2025-26 with 44 again. Detroit has conceded the most, 22 in 43 games, and also the most game-winners, seven, and the most power-play goals, nine. All three are his highest against any single club.
Only two opponents have never given up a game-winner to him: Minnesota across 21 games and Utah across 20.
What are Kucherov’s stats per game?
1.279 points, 0.456 goals, and 0.823 assists per game, on 3.09 shots a night. The spread is narrower than most players in this series because the rate is so high to begin with: he clears a point a game against 30 of the 31 franchises he has faced. Seattle at 1.889 and Vegas at 1.857 head the list on nine and 14 games, and Edmonton at 1.850 is the most substantial of the three at 20.

Which team does Kucherov score most against?
Detroit, with 58 points in 43 games, and it is a complete sweep of his records: most goals, most game-winners, most power-play goals and most shots against one opponent. Buffalo and Ottawa both sit at 56 points, Buffalo across 43 games and Ottawa across 41, so Ottawa has the better rate of the two.
Among the smaller samples, Edmonton is the one worth noting at 37 points in 20 games, including 15 goals at 16.7%.

Which team has held Kucherov down?
Boston, and it is the cleanest negative in this entire series. Forty-four games, 38 points, a rate of 0.864, a plus-minus of minus 14, and a shooting percentage of 10.4 against his career 14.8. Three separate columns point the same way, and the sample is the second-largest in the table.
Below come Washington and Minnesota at exactly 1.000, then Dallas and Nashville at 1.043. Dallas is the worst-finishing row of the large samples: six goals on 68 shots, 8.8%.
Which team does Kucherov take the most penalties against?
Florida, by a distance that is hard to read as coincidence. He has 55 penalty minutes against the Panthers, more than double the next club on the list: Ottawa at 28. Those 55 minutes come from 42 games, which is 4.8% of his career games producing 12.6% of his career penalty minutes.
The points are there too, 51 in those 42 games, so it is not a matchup he disappears in. It is a matchup he gets drawn into.

Why is there no 2020-21 season in Kucherov’s record?
Because he did not play a single regular-season game that year. The table above therefore spans twelve seasons rather than thirteen, and the gap is not a data error.
What is Kucherov’s contract worth?
Eight years and $76 million, signed in July 2018, with a cap hit of $9.5 million, as listed on PuckPedia. It expires at the end of the 2026-27 season, after which he becomes an unrestricted free agent. The last three years carry a modified no-trade clause with a ten-team list rather than the full no-move clause he held earlier in the deal.
For a player producing at 104.9 points per 82 games, a $9.5 million cap hit has been among the better pieces of business in the league for most of the past decade.
